south america, central mark. et cetera. i see no indication -- and the numbers don't show any indication -- that the u.s. is willing to spend money and time and effort to reduce its consumption, its demand for drugs. i see no reason to believe the u.s. will do so in the future any more than it has done so at any time in the past since the 1960 1960's, when drugs became part of a certain mainstream of american life. there are people who think this is a terrible situation, there are people who think it is ok like myself. there are people who think it is a great situation. well, that is their opinion. what i think is increasingly difficult to argue is that there is any consensus or willingness in american society to declare a war on drug demand or reduction or drug consumption in the united states through testing, through invasion of privacy, through clampdowns on trade, on everything. is the u.s. willing to send the army into the projects in chicago, into the projects and tenements in new york, in los angeles, into east los a
